Elder Care                          (781) 862-3300

Minute Women Inc., family owned and operated since 1969, provides ultimate peace of mind for families who want to keep an elderly loved one at home but need some non-medical help to do it. Our approach is simple. You tell us exactly what you're looking for - number of hours, days, services, personality traits - and we find the most caring, capable person to fit your unique needs and preferences.

Some of the services your caregiver can provide include:

• Companionship and conversation
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Meal preparation
• Monitor diet and eating; check food stock and expiration dates
• Assistance with paperwork - mail, bills, correspondence
• Scheduling appointments and maintaining calendar
• Escort for shopping and errands
• Home health aides for bathing, dressing, feeding
• Escort for doctor's appointments, events and social outings
• Care for plants and pets
• Participate in crafts, scrapbooking, cards or games
• Medication reminders
• Respite care
• Live-in and Live-out options
• Daily hours, overnights, double shifts or weekends/holidays

Professional Placements

Minute Women Inc. sends only those caregivers to your home who can communicate fluently with you and who have passed a rigorous background screening that includes:

Extensive Review Process

We talk in depth to each prospective caregiver one-on-one to delve into their experience in the field and their specific skills and background. It's through these conversations that we get a real sense if a person is caring enough and skilled enough for you to be comfortable with him or her in your home.

Checking 6 references

Every reputable agency will check references. At Minute Women, however, we verify each reference for accuracy and acceptability. We make sure that your caregiver brings the right attitude, compassion and skill set to your home.

Follow up with every placement

We call you immediately after placing your caregiver and follow up regularly to ensure that you are completely comfortable and confident in your caregiver's ability to meet your family's needs.

Criminal and driving record checks

When someone is going to have access to your home and contact with your loved ones, complete trust must be established. We conduct extensive background checks to ensure you are completely at ease with your caregiver.

There's a reason why most of our clients select and retain the first caregiver we send to them - after more than 35 years in the business, we know how to do the research and have acquired the perspective to sense when a caregiver-client arrangement will work - and when it won't. Our caregivers love working with Minute Women, and you will too.

Personal Touch

From your first phone call to our office throughout your relationship with Minute Women, you'll receive responsive, personal service from an experienced, caring staff that prides itself on listening to you and making elder care arrangements that work for your family.

• A fully staffed office from Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• An elder care placement team made up of knowledgeable, compassionate professionals who are committed to your family's needs - all of us have been with Minute Women for 10-20 years
